The Widow’s Offering ❤️
Last Sunday, something happened that brought me to tears.
A few days earlier, we had given our monthly support to the widows in our ministry. As I sat behind them in church, I watched each one quietly pull out the envelope they had just received.
Then I realized what they were doing. They were taking out their tithe.
These women have so little by the world’s standards, yet their first response was to honor God with what He had provided. They weren’t giving from abundance, they were giving from sacrifice.
It immediately reminded me of the widow in Mark 12:41–44, whom Jesus praised because she gave not out of her wealth, but out of her need.
I can only imagine the smile on Jesus’ face as He received their offering. Heaven measures generosity very differently than we do.
These women continue to teach me that true worship isn’t about how much we give, it’s about the posture of our hearts.
Thank you, Jesus, for allowing us to witness faith like this. It is humbling, inspiring, and unforgettable.
“She, out of her poverty, put in everything she had.” — Mark 12:44
